Medial epicondylitis is also known as golfer's elbow, baseball elbow, suitcase elbow, or forehand tennis elbow. It's characterized by pain from the elbow to the wrist on the inside (medial side) of the elbow. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist toward the palm.
Tennis elbow, also called lateral epicondylitis, affects the elbow and forearm. It is so named because repetitive movements of the forearm — like hitting a tennis ball with a racket — can cause pain and swelling in the tendons and ligaments.
